Anyway to remove or glossify the top and bottom bars?

[Chef Ben]

Title says it all. I spent a decent amount of time on XDA and here trying to see if I can make the top and bottom bar of WM6.1 glossy but still using the stock HTC Black theme that came with the phone. All I found was one program that makes them glossy gray...no thanks.

Hell, if I could completely remove them then that would be cool too. Give the background a lot more room and look way better.

Also, someone needs to find a way to remove the "Call History" and "Calender" links on the Home screen. I am just going to install a "Call History" and "Calender" tab on the slider...no need for an extra link on the Home tab.
